See the Puppy.
The Puppy likes to play.
And play and play and play and play and play.
See The Puppy's Surrogate Grandmother.
The Surrogate Grandmother apparently still has the stomach flu she contracted earlier.
The flu makes the Surrogate Grandmother tired.
So very, very, very tired.
But The Puppy still likes to play and play and play.
See The Family.
The Family gets up early in the morning during Summer Vacation.
Does that make The Family happy?
Not necessarily.
But The Family does it anyway to keep The Puppy from barking and piddling.
The Puppy likes to bark and piddle and poop.
The good news is that The Puppy mostly piddles and poops outside in the designated area now.
THAT MAKES THE FAMILY VERY HAPPY.
But, the Surrogate Grandmother is still tired.
Very, very, very, tired.
Now, the Surrogate Grandmother remembers why it seemed like a good idea to stop after only two children.
The Two Children are realizing what it is like to get up very early, be at The Puppy's beck and call till bedtime and keep cleaning up after The Puppy.
That makes the Surrogate Grandmother very happy.
The Surrogate Grandmother laughs very, very, very hard.
The laugh is somewhat of an evil laugh.
Still, the Surrogate Grandmother feels its been proven once again:
There is a God.

Vengeance is mine, sayeth the LORD. And He works in strange and mysterious ways, His wonders to perform.
Puppy parenthood might also reinforce certain abstinence campaigns.
Sorry you're not feeling well!
Rest assured that I wasted no time in lecturing my teenagers on the parallels between puppies that howled and peed all night and teenage sex! Let's just say getting up three days in a row at 6 a.m. ON SUMMER VACATION conveys the abstinence message like nobody's business. They can't say they weren't warned!!
So great minds really DO think alike!
You are so brave to have taken on puppy-grandparenting. That's all I have to say.
Wait, howling and peeing all night? That sounds like my house!
